Yeah, that sounds like it, but here are some points:
1. if you can't upgrade a running system (Debian can, most others can) without BOOTING FROM THE CD or DVD, then why does YaST have the option available?
You can add other installation sources that provide newer (but non-core) packages like ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.3/yast-source And than use this YaST2 module to update all available packages.
2. Half of my machines don't have CD drives, much less CDROMS, and none of them have floppy drives. A Network Install is basically the only way to upgrade them.
